china had the one child policy for many years, it prevented starvation. who honestly thinks the earth can support 30 billion people without a serious decline in quality of life?

    Quick question how do you stop people from fucking, and how do you do that in such a way that doesn't infringe on bodiliy autonomy, considering that yes, even the one child policy was flawed, which is why even China has revoked it.

      you cant stop people from fucking but you can provide them with free contraceptives.

        The thing the overpopulation argument misses, imo, is that as people get richer they stop having as many kids. So the real solution here is contraceptives and redistribution of income, alongside degrowth policies.
